What do you think of people who simply have no interest in music? I mean I heard of someone in her mid-20s or so who has 5 CDs, all movie soundtracks. I suppose there are people with less interest in music out there. I suppose it is a continuum with such people on 1 end and us (generally) on the other end. Thoughts?
They're excellent!
im here, and i have no interest in music.
I suppose people on footy forums (for example) are mystified by those with no interest in footy.
what about the people with shit interest in music? they're worse. we should round them up and put them into camps and deprive them of their liberty
cuba will be free of freedom fighters soon. we'll use guantameno bay
i'm relying on you to organise it, tramdriver
My sister used to go out with a bloke like this.
He had two CDs: One of those Best Beer Drinking songs and a Sonics album.
He would happily listen to whatever music was being played.
what about the people with shit interest in music?
Everyone knows you're talking about september.
they're two pretty fine albums, LP
This thread sums up mess&noise.
my mum is like this actually. she owns 1 buddy holly records, some opera, some andrew lloyd webber and some emmylou harris (that i gave her)
that's it
talk radio rates better than music radio. most people would rather listen to some old man on the radio than listen to music.
In a weird way I kind of envy him LP.
He was a simple man...good bloke.
tram, the main problem with your analogy is that anthropologists estimate that basic ball games have been around for about three thousand years, music quite possibly much longer than that, possibly from as soon as a primate began to hit something (most likely another primate) repeatedly...
clearly one is a much more necessary expressive tool humans use to explain themselves to themselves.
I've met a couple of people who have zero interest. My former supervisor only liked one song - the St Kilda Footy Club theme.
My former boss liked 2 songs and 2 artists - The Cure's Close To Me, Axle F, and he liked Paul Simon and Weird Al Yankovic. That was IT. So very strange, I don't understand it.
littlearch - Nah, they are something different again.
LP - The Sonics album seems rather obscure for someone with no interest in music (Surely must have been given it).
i still say we cull
I was gonna say, own one album, the sonics is pretty solid.
I find that people with less interest in music are often the ones with the most open-minded tastes, so perhaps they're actually getting more out of it, if everything sounds good.
I don't actually agree with this, but its an argument.
I used to work with Paul Mac's older sister.. she strangely had next to no interest in music. She would complain all the time about what was played in the store. All she wanted was silence
Nah, he heard the Sonics because I used to listen to them a lot when we lived together and he really liked them so he went out and bought it.
Ironically he was given the beer drinking one for his 21st.

What were they into?
I have a friend at work who literally has two cassettes (no cds) in her car and they are all she listens to. And they came with the car - they are the best of Cats Stevens and Meatloaf. I made her two new tapes recently, she is enjoying them.
You are corrupting her natural goodness!
music is just rubbish these days.
people with no interest in music are more mature and need no guidence and/or fake social constructs etc. In the old days music was a part of social discussion but today it is just background for socialising and finding a partner. No-body listens to anyone these days and if someone wants to find out a thought then best listen to older musicians from the baby boomer era that put their thoughts and feelings on the table for all so that they could try and build a better society. these days no-body cares about any of that. all people want is to spend money.
Almost punched the bitch for not knowing who Johnny Cash was. Come on!
People with no interest in music are missing a chromosone or sumthin'... possibly a soul.
Its pretty funny how people who can't understand people who don't give a shit about music have the worst taste ever! Oh, and I know people who don't give a shit at music, I see them at shows every week.
haha
What sort of people are these? Barfly's? Groupies? Scenesters?
Curious.
They're the ones talking when your favourite band is on stage.
hahahaha tramdriver.
CBN - That's actually him, not his character in Peepshow BTW. ;-)

The thing I miss about highschool alot was having my music as a non-social thing and being stupid with my friends that was also pre myspace days so I wouldn't get fucking messaged by strangers becuase of my music section.
It's like the shirtless yob population at festivals. I asked a guy at one festival who he was here to see and he shrugged ''Dunno Mate! Don't even know who's playin?! Just here for a good time!...ROOOOOOAR!''
He really did add the roar
That gave me a small 'l' lol.
I also Lol'd a little but I'm still laughing everytime I see tramdrivers post.
I was going to start a fred about you, but now it would seem sycophantic. ho-hum.
